The logistics involved in being a wine writer (of sorts) can be quite challenging. Sorting and unpacking bottles, not least the storage of them, coupled with the disposal of packaging and bottles via recycling all takes a fair bit of effort. Last weekend I sorted out about 16 dozen or so wines that I’m just [...]
Andrew Marks, the man behind The Wanderer wines, spent three years as a winemaker in the ‘white wine’ section of Penfolds, and he recently said that “in some ways I still make reds as a white winemaker would”. Not 100 percent sure what he means, but I like the sound of it. This Wanderer Shiraz was [...]
There is so much care and thought put into De Bortoli’s Yarra Valley reds these days that you’d almost call them works of art. That said, the style choices made for this wine have pushed marginally beyond my boundaries. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post

I found it hard to make up my mind on this De Bortoli Estate Chardonnay. I loved it at first, then cooled on it, then came back to somewhere in-between. Possibly because it’s so young. Possibly because I’m just having one of those days. Possibly because it’s made in a fairly - but not excessively [...]
This is a 14 percent alcohol, 100 percent syrah from the southern Rhone. It’s exclusive to Vintage Cellars. I went looking for a bottle image and noticed - or so a retail site noted - that Parker had given this 90 points. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the [...]

The best parcels of Craggy Range cabernet and merlot (grown on the Gimblett Gravels of Hawke’s Bay) are used to make The Quarry. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
The press release claims that this is made “more in the Cote Rotie, Northern Rhone vein than a brutish Aussie shiraz”. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
It spent 15 months in oak, but you can hardly taste oak at all. Always a good sign with sangiovese. It was a hot year - bringing this in at 13.5% alcohol is a fair effort too. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
You always get a nice drink when you open a bottle of Angus the Bull cabernet. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
